Practicum Employer Opportunities 

The Women in Technology (WIT) program is offered to Immigrant and Indigenous women as a first step towards achieving our vision of equal representation of women in STEM fields.

Through practicum placements, which offer hands-on experience, references, and networking, we can empower women to reach their potential, and launch their careers in the tech industry. 

Practicum host benefits include:

  • Access to new talent with updated skills and knowledge

  • Company exposure through WIT events and partnership recognition

  • Diversify staff and interns within your organization

  • Option to use the practicum placement as extended employment training and interviewing

  • Support women as they launch their careers

WIT students are seeking paid internships from 3-12 months long paid, or 6-week unpaid placements in the following areas:

  • Junior Web Development

  • Full-Stack Web Development

  • Front-End/Back-End Development

  • Web Design, UI/UX Design

  • Business or Data Analyst 

  • Quality Assurance Analyst, or Software Testing

  • Power Platforms Developer

  • Data Science

  • Other areas of IT

As a practicum employer it is your responsibility to assign engaging projects and provide mentorship and guidance. Additional support through job references and networking opportunities inside and outside your organization can positively impact student success.
